I think you can just compile a list of the UNIQUENAME values for all
installed origins and then delete any directories that are not on the
list - something like the script below. It's a bit slow though, and I'd
recommend running it without the -delete first time.
--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
: ${PORTSDIR:=/usr/ports}
: ${PORT_DBDIR:=/var/db/ports}
ure="nosuch-port"
for p in `pkg_info -qoa ` ; do
cd ${PORTSDIR}/$p
ure="${ure}|`make -V UNIQUENAME`"
done
cd ${PORT_DBDIR}
find -E . -mindepth 1 \! -regex "^\./(${ure})(/.*)?" -delete
